The British Minister in Tehran has suggested that
it would be best to defer the comzunioation to the Persian
Government of the Iraq Government’s promise of co-operation
in regard to the opening of the Azerbaijan trade route, as
he hopes by this means to impress upon the Persian Government
the advisability of early recognition of the Iraq Govern
ment. The Acting High Commissioner has telegraphed his
concurrence* In the meantime, the Council of Vinistere
have" agreed that steps be tasen to construct a motor
road from Arbi! to the frontier through Rswandus. The
Ministry of Comnunications and /orks while unable to give
an estimate of the cost of this work until a rated survey
has been completed, have asked the Ministry of Finance to
rake a special budget allotment of Rs 2#
lakhs
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
for the
purpose. Of this sum they estimate that approximately Re.
40,000 will be required for the two bridges, the necessity
for which was pointed out in paragraph 210 (a); the Ministry
desire to place the order for these bridges as early as
possible. The Ministry of Finance do not. however.agree
that the time is yet ripe for such a substantial allotment
of funds, and the Acting High Commissioner supports this
view. He has rointed out that he has received no further
definite indications of the intentions of the Persian
Government and that, in the present financial situation, the
Iraq Government cannot afford to begin the construction
of a motor road until it is assured that the intentions
of the Persian Government are serious. He has recoronended
nevertheless that the following measures be undertaken if
the money can be found.
(1) temporary improvement of the existing track
(2) bridges
(3) survey of the route.
